J4 is a quantitative medical imaging software toolbox, focused primarily on PET, MRI and CT applications for cardiology. J4 is an outgrowth of the earlier I4 imaging system and utilizes JSim for quantitative modeling. J4 is developed at the University of Washington, in the departments of Bioengineering, Cardiology and Radiology.
QPP (Quantitative Perfusion Protocol) is J4's first target application. QPP is a software tool for measuring regional myocardial flow and coronary flow reserve from cardiac PET images. (AA: Need more complete description here). QPP development is funded, in part, via a grant from the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation.
Project status: QPP is currently undergoing alpha testing at UW. A beta version, suitable for use by collaborators is expected to be available by mid-2009. QPP currently runs only on Linux(i386 or X64) workstations. Windows and MacIntosh versions may be available in the future.
